It is the 4th of July. That is a big day for celebration here in the United States. We also know it as Independence Day.

Here are some appropriate videos that you may enjoy.


This one is from a few years ago. It features fireworks at Disneyland with Sandi Patty singing patriotic songs.

A favorite for many is Ray Charles singing America the Beautiful.

This is probably my favorite version of the Star Spangled Banner (The National Anthem of the United States of America). It is performed by Sandi Patty.

Think about it!

We work in the most "free" country in the world. Plus affiliates and outsourced affiliate managers have the freedom to work from home and the independence to largely create their own destiny.

I hope you all take time to celebrate: your freedom, this wonderful country we live in and this amazing opportunity we have called affiliate marketing.

<strong>Freedom is a beautiful thing!

Enjoy a day off with your family and Happy 4th of July! </strong>
